A return trip to Joe’s does not disappoint. In a city full of unbelievable steak places Joe’s stands out. Where else can you get stone crabs to start the meal? The steaks are perfectly prepared and full of flavor, particularly their signature bone in filet. Solid sides especially the creamed corn and Jennie’s mashed potatoes.

Special guest Ryan “Balanaby” Ray joined Chicago’s finest gentleman for the evening and was instantly envious of our Thursday meetings of meat.

Solid service, even offering Balanaby some free key lime pie upon learning it was his virgin trip to Joe’s. Brad finally walked free and Balanaby thought his birthday was in May until he was introduced to a steak night tradition.

Cole was given a new guy reprieve and only paid half the pre dinner drink tab as a penalty of violating rule #4. Scotty picked up the rest, perhaps because of our special guest. Thank you gentleman.
